Life in Color (Katherine)

Jan (sienna) The poem reads: There is a beauty in the color brown / Which brings to mind the muted light of caring. / Earth tones: roots, ground leafmeal, seeds, and soil; / Nuts and bark, broad rivers thick with toil; / Tree trunks in a clearing, nothing wearing. / Yet holding high their single woven crown. / For me brown brings to mind your caring eyes, / Innocent and gentle as a doe’s. / Vested in your love, my own love grows; / Each thought, each hope, each breath within you lies. / Nicholas Gordon

The poem reads: On the mountain tonight the full moon / faces the full sun. Now could be the moment when we fall apart or we become whole. / Our time seems to be up-I think I even hear it stopping. / Then why have we kept up the singing for so long? / Because that’s the sort of determined creature we are. / Before us, our first task is to astonish, / and then, harder by far, to be astonished. / Galway Kinnell

I got to see this “in person” this weekend at Fran’s house (where I took pictures). Several of us were there for a craft gathering and were in awe of what Katherine and Joy had done. If you read the instructions, you’ll guess that each page is a different color and people choose a color with which to work. We all had ideas for various colors/pages. I might try doing something like this just for myself, a different color for different moods.
